Tall grasses and seed heads bend in the wind under a pale sky near Calais. A still from Nowhere To Go.

Audio installation · Heard only live

One human's journey, in sound

A boy leaves his village in Afghanistan at 14. On the journey that follows he crosses Iran, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Italy, France and Belgium, and by the time he reaches the UK he is a man.

Our new audio installation tells his story in quadrophonic sound. It is a visceral, true account of that journey, in an exceptional voice that has gone unheard until now.

It will not be published online. The only way to hear it is in the room, at one of our live events.
